Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp


Hello,

I have recently acquired a phono pre amp recommended by Michael Fremer.  It is “THE VINYL”, from QHW audio, Spain.  It got a great review.  I have a Benz Micro Glider rated at 1.1MV.  I have no idea how to set the dip switches for MC Load impedance for this cartridge. The options I have are as follows: 47K, 1K, 560R, 470R, 100R, and 47R.  I have a solid state amp and pre-amp, and also have a sub that I use, rarely.

Any advice would be most appreciated!!

@rauliruegas What he is referring to is the constant velocity aspect of the cartridge, which is part of the RIAA curve. The faster the stylus moves, the more voltage it puts out. So the RIAA curve rolls off against this characteristic. In fact its often referred to as a 'characteristic curve'.

atmasp, thank's but no.

 

Holmz, now I seen the ? in your statement. So, you are guessing again due that you do not make the tests yet. Nothing wrong with that because it's the way you are, like to " guess " as in your tonearm thread.

I hope that the test LP you bougth will receive soon. The tests on tracking and resonances will stop your " guessing ". Again, nothing wrong with that.

For acting like a psychic, may i ask where the LP is in the postal system?
And I should be picking up the ADC this weekend of next week.

I think I have the RIAA curve backwards though, so it would not help us at higher freqs with loading… exactly opposite.

Hello, I am the poor guy that started this post with a simple question of pre-amp load settings.

Is anyone interested in my results when testing all of the settings on the pre-amp that you all recommended?
